I am trying to use the Avia slider on my homepage. My site isn’t fully developed yet, but when it is live, I will send you a link. The slide transition is minor and won’t stop me from designing the site.

Ok. I am posting my “test” homepage in a test folder for now. I am trying to get the Avia Slider to work on my homepage and then I can just swap out the imagery with my own. I don’t need the button graphic to work underneath the slider. I am just trying to get the slider to fade in and out… Just a basic slideshow.

<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
//activate the lightbox
jQuery('a[href$=jpg], a[href$=png], a[href$=gif], a[href$=jpeg]').prettyPhoto({theme: "light_square"});
// here you can see the slide options I used in the demo page. depending on the id of the slider a different setup gets activated
$('#frontpage-slider').aviaSlider();
});
</script>

I see on the Avia Slider demo page, that “?slider=droping-curtain” is used to reload the page and use the dropping curtains. That’s cool that a change can be made quickly, but I want to start with a different transition (i.e. the dropping curtains instead of the blocks) but I ‘cant attach the “?slider=droping-curtain” to the main.html in my php file.

Is there an easy way to call for a specific transition right from file that calls the scripts and has the unordered list?

Yes, you can use any of the default transitions. Actually I wouldn’t include the entire demo data like you did ( http://dragonsflight.biz/azscia/js/custom.js ) but I’d just call the code for the droping-curtain transition. Delete the entire code in custom.js and replace it with:
